Homing issue

Duet2 Wifi
Cartesian style printer (built by me)
I have updated my printer to Firmware 3.0 and I generated a new config from the config tool website. This printer is one that I built myself and had worked great while on the old firmware 1.19. Now it won't home like it should.
X and Y won't move in the negative direction.
So, "G1 H1 Y-357 F360" doesn't move at all, but "G1 H2 Y5 F6000" moves as expected.
I'm not sure what else to look at and I'm at a loss.config.g

@3dTony If it doesn't move using the H1 parameter but does when using H2, that would indicate to me that the switch is already triggered when it starts the move. So most likely you just need to invert the input with a "!", So e.g. M574 Y1 S1 P"!ystop" instead of M574 Y1 S1 P"ystop".

Holy crap that fixed it. Thank you so much. I read about that earlier and was going to try it, but haven't got there yet. I can't believe it was this easy.
Thanks again!!

@3dTony Glad that fixed it for you.
TBH, the comments you have in your config.g say that you use active low end stops so if you "told" the configuration tool that is what you are using, then it should have generated the correct (inverted) command for you. Can you recall if you gave the tool that information or might you have found a bug in the tool?
-
The printer was working ok with the original 1.19 firmware I started with. I updated it because it was no longer supported. So I started a new configuration on the website by starting with an existing configuration. I don't remember making any changes to the end stops. I saw no reason to make changes since everything worked before and I made no changes to the physical printer setup.
This is what the configuration tool showed when I was going through it
-
@3dTony That explains it. Your end stops are actually active low (NO) and you selected Active High (NC). Or rather Active High is the default which you didn't change. So I'm afraid we can't blame the configuration tool.
